About Soncharre

Soncharre Hodges is a licensed social worker in Tennessee who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, and compassion fatigue. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space so parents and caregivers can talk through what feels most urgent.

Taking a first step can feel risky, and she offers steady support during that moment. Her approach is practical and collaborative.

Background and approach

She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Techniques drawn from client-centered therapy help center the client's experience and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify patterns of thought that contribute to distress and to try small, manageable changes.

Solution-focused work helps keep sessions goal-oriented and efficient, which can be useful for busy families or parents short on time. She combines these methods to address issues like anger, low self-esteem, and the stress of life changes. The focus also includes common family topics such as blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and fatherhood challenges.

Soncharre holds the LCSW credential, Tennessee license number LCSW 9497. She has five years of professional experience and conducts sessions in English. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

If a parent wants a down-to-earth conversation about coping, boundaries, or improving family communication, she aims to partner in creating workable steps and clear next actions.

How her approaches translate to online family support

Client-centered therapy is about listening and shaping sessions around what matters to the client. It helps parents and caregivers feel heard and decide priorities for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavioral changes, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to keep conversations goal-oriented and practical, useful when time is limited and the aim is concrete progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and help determine which methods match a person's goals, needs, and schedule. This collaborative process lets clients try approaches and adjust as needed.

Online therapy through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family life. These formats offer flexibility for parents juggling work, childcare, and appointments. They also allow follow-up between sessions through messaging and let people choose the way they communicate that feels most comfortable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
